Arvind Kejriwal spends public money on people instead of pocketing it, while BJP calls it ‘freebies: CM Atishi

NEW DELHI , 19 Oct , 2024- As part of the “Aapka Vidhayak-Aapke Dwar” initiative launched by the Aam Aadmi Party, CM Atishi engaged with residents in Bharat Nagar, Govindpuri, and Govindpuri Extension in the Kalkaji constituency on Saturday. She highlighted the Kejriwal government’s achievements over the last five years in various sectors.

Addressing the crowd, CM Atishi asserted, “Over the past 10 years, Arvind Kejriwal has consistently provided better facilities to even the poorest in Delhi because he understands the struggles of common citizens. Across the country, he is the only leader capable of giving free electricity, quality education, healthcare, women’s bus travel, and pilgrimage for the elderly.”

She continued, “Unlike the BJP, which dismisses these welfare measures as ‘freebies,’ Arvind Kejriwal believes in spending public money on public welfare rather than pocketing it. If using taxpayers’ money to provide free electricity, water, education, healthcare, and pilgrimage for the elderly is considered distributing ‘freebies,’ then Kejriwal is committed to continuing this practice.”

CM Atishi emphasized, “The people know that only Arvind Kejriwal truly works for the common man’s benefit. That’s why Delhiites will re-elect their son as Chief Minister.”

Under Arvind Kejriwal’s guidance, all AAP MLAs are reaching out to residents in every street and neighborhood to account for their work in their respective constituencies and the initiatives undertaken by the Delhi government for the public’s benefit.

Today’s event in Bharat Nagar, Govindpuri, and Govindpuri Extension marked part of “Aapka Vidhayak-Aapke Dwar” outreach, where CM Atishi detailed the development work done in the Kalkaji constituency and across Delhi under Kejriwal’s leadership.

She added, “For the past 10 years, Arvind Kejriwal has tirelessly worked day and night for the people of Delhi. Whether it’s providing 24×7 electricity, free power, pilgrimage for the elderly, free bus travel for women, building excellent government schools, or delivering world-class healthcare free of cost, only Arvind Kejriwal has made this possible.”

Addressing criticism, Atishi remarked, “When we provide these services free of charge from taxpayers’ money, the BJP calls it ‘freebies.’ But we run an honest government that prioritizes public welfare. We don’t pocket public funds; we use them to serve the people. If offering these facilities is considered distributing ‘freebies,’ we will gladly continue doing so.”

In conclusion, CM Atishi stated, “The people know that only Arvind Kejriwal can work for the common man. That’s why the citizens of Delhi will once again choose their son, Arvind Kejriwal, as Chief Minister.”
